Good Tuesday afternoon, my sweet friends. I hope everyone reading this is feeling better than I am today. No, it isn’t for poor pitiful me. It’s just we all have those days I’ve had about a week of it. You’ve heard me, and you’ve heard me looking for a house so I’m gonna move. I’m gonna stay. I’m gonna move. And I know that so many of you were thinking well Debbie, which one is it? I’m gonna tell you the honest truth. I don’t know. It seems like deal after deal after deal that seems right keeps falling through so I have to trust the process but trust me it’s so disheartening and there’s so many things that I need to do to my home. Structural Wise and I don’t have the funds so I lose that much money if things aren’t right when the inspection happens, I know

I will have to admit that the past couple of weeks I’m thinking to myself, but possibly I’ve made a mistake, but I know deep in my heart I haven’t. It’s the devil trying to bring me down even more than I already am. I’m not going to allow it. I don’t have to, and I’m not. I haven’t lost my faith. I’m just questioning my own motives, my own finances, my own decisions prior to this break up after 45 years of marriage and putting up with the things that I did I lost myself my own identity. I did not know who I was in life. What my next steps were and I can tell you this after seven months I don’t know a whole lot more than I did in the beginning, except that piece as I have told you cannot be bought, and that is one thing I have is peace from and abusive relationship. Of someone thinking of themselves only in their needs and what they want how it makes them feel and when they want it and how they want it and how it needs to be done what needs to be done and you have very little say and you are put off and put off your feelings don’t matter so yes in that aspect I am much better off, but in every other aspect, it’s been very very hard what I do this again looking down the road if I could go back, yes! Beyond a shadow of a doubt these other things will work their way out. I don’t know how God does I don’t I would like to be able to stay in this home but there’s over $3000 worth of work that needs to be done and I don’t have it. I literally don’t and it needs a new AC unit and that’s not gonna happen any time in the near future either, but you know what I still have a roof over my head. I still feel blessed every now and then the devil gets a hold of me and I start to feel sorry for myself and I think no ma’am you’re not going there devil get behind me. So I wanted to let you guys know that the last house that deal fell through. They just wanted too much for it. It was a very small house no dishwasher no place to even put a kitchen table or a dinette table and no bar. I thought to myself I guess I would eat in the recliner in the living room. Don’t know that I want to do that all the time and they were asking way too much. They weren’t budging because they had put a lot of money in it. Well, I put a lot of money in this one too, but I was budging anyway I’m beginning to think that real estate is we buy your wholesale your house wholesale and we sell our house retail kinda like they do with the car lot lol. Anyway, I wanted to keep you guys posted. I’m still in this house it truly looks like this is where God wants me right now and that’s OK. Just continue to pray for a way to be able to get the structural things that need fixed in this house at least fixed that’s important. Just agree with me in prayer if you will. I know that there’s so many of you that read my post and you’ve been through these things already and you’ve overcome them and you keep encouraging me and I appreciate it. I just feel so old and lost at times and confused and I used to be such a take charge person taking charge of my own life.

God bless my precious friends. Have yourself a wonderful Tuesday afternoon and evening. We’ll chat soon. let’s all remember that as long as we’re drawing breath God still riding our story and He is each story!

    So sorry it didn’t work out for you with the House. Keeping you in my prayers always.❤🙏

  2. Debbie, I live in Upstate Western NY and everyone here sells their home these days without an inspection. Buyers are waving the inspection so they don’t lose out on getting a home. Seems there is a shortage of homes. Lots of folks will wave inspect for an as is deal I don’t know if they will let you sell your house “as is” in Alabama. Keep looking and praying. The right home will be there for you.God is always on time. His time not ours. I’m praying you will get AC fixed reasonably if you’re meant to stay. Be anxious for nothing! God has your back

    1. Thank you for those positive words Patti. It just knocked me back a few steps so I just need to catch my breath and regroup. When the time is right, it’ll just be right it’ll come easy when it’s God’s wheel. I believe that. Have a wonderful evening thank you for your precious comment.

  3. Oh, Debbie, I’m so sorry about all you are going through. I continually keep you and your needs in my prayers. I also know how that devil, satan can get in front of us!! Get thee behind me, I have said so many times! He likes to interfere whenever he can.
    God is bigger than all our problems and bigger than all our fears. I know that you know all this. Please know that I am praying harder than ever for God to meet your needs. Love, prayers and hugs to you my friend. 🙏🙏💖🥰🙏🙏🙏

    1. Thank you, my dear friend Mary. I’m keeping my chin up and trying to stay positive when negativity surrounds me completely. We just know that when it’s God’s will it comes easy. You don’t have to fight and scratch your way through. Have yourself a wonderful Tuesday evening love you, my friend.

  4. I will pray for you. I know how this feels. We are getting our house ready to move and we are trusting God for this. Maybe you are to stay in your own home. We’ll, at least for now! We moved from OK to FL. Now, we discern it is almost time to move again and another big move! We will have to leave some things behind but my hope is the future. You, like I are going through a waiting and trusting season. It is hard but so glad you have faith and that I have faith. God does truly want the best for us!

  5. Debbie, I can’t even imagine going through that alone. I will continue to pray that God’s hand will be in everything and make away for you without so much discouragement.

    1. You know, Lola, I promise you I’m not complaining. I feel blessed. Blessed because I’ve lived a life of trials and tribulations since I can remember. But, when I look back, I truly see one set of footprints. While my life has not been easy many of my own choices, but not all of them God was in my story. God was carrying me and He was with me through it all. Hey, will not leave my side and I just have to put my whole trust in HIM. Thank you for your precious comment and I hope you have a wonderful evening, my friend.

  6. I’m so sorry you’re going through all this. Does your county or state have a program where you can get some kind of assistance fixing updates that are needed? I know each state is different, some offer more than others. I’ll pray for closure that things will fall in place. Have a blessed day.🙏❤️

    1. Sweet Roberta, if my county or state has something like that, I’m honestly not aware of it. I have asked around and no one I know is aware of it so I don’t think we do I see it online all the time but then they wanna know how much you make and they hook you up with a financial Institute well that’s not free. Is it or that’s not working at a price that you can afford as a senior living off of Social Security. Anyway, things will work out the way God wants them too as hard as it is in the flesh. I know this in my heart. Have yourself a blessed Tuesday evening.

  7. Hi Debbie!! God knows the plans that he has for you. He also knows that Satan is trying to make you get down and out. I was in this situation and made a huge mistake!! As time went by I realized that the mistake had brought me to a very safe neighborhood around family. Satan couldn’t win. I am praying hard that God’s plan is for you to either be able to stay in your home or lead you to a new home just for you. Don’t give up and don’t lose hope. God is with you. Love 🩷 and pray for you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

    1. My dear sweet Elaine, thank you so much. You have become such a friend here through social media. Everything you said is correct and well said. When the time is right, whatever is meant to be will happen if it’s meant that I stay here God will show me and he will make a way for me to fix the things that have to be fixed and continue to live here if it’s not, he will make a way to fix the things that need to be fixed or find a buyer that’s willing to pay what I need out of it and fix it themselves and there will be a home out there for me. I love this place. I’ve been here 20 years and it is home. But, it’s much larger than one person needs, which is not a sin to stay, but it is bigger than I need and a little more upkeep than I need, but I could do it if I could just get the things fixed that needed to be fixed. I believe I could stay here as soon as the surgeon releases me six more weeks hopefully I can get a job. There’s only nine years left on the mortgage. I had a dream the other night when I went to pay my mortgage that was a zero balance and I called the mortgage company and they said well. Your loans been paid off and I said who paid it off and they said we can’t tell you that I woke up elated until I realized it was a dream, but it was a good dream. At least it wasn’t a nightmare. You have a wonderful evening, my friend and you take care of you OK
